Cow Was Drunk, Not Wild. A Virginia husbandman, alarmed by the indecorous performances of an or dinarily mild and gentle cow after munching a ration of ensilage, ap pealed to the sharps of the depart ment of agriculture, thinking the cow had gone wild or mad. Investigation revealed that "bossy" had feasted on fermented cornstalks and had simply got drunk on the raw bourbon whisky. Dally Thought.

Washington, D. C. Determined to learn whether foreign manufacturers can sell the United States navy shells of equal quality for one-third less than the lowest price Americans will offer, the Navy department has award ed a contract to the Hadneld Steel Foundry, of Sheffield, for 600 out of a total of 6500 armor-piercing projefr tiles contracted for. The department officials believe that if the English product measures up to the test, the avowed intention of the government to buy abroad when necessary to meet exorbitant domestic bids, will result in a substantial low ering of American prices. The Hadneld company received the contract for 600 12-inch projectiles at f 187 each. To the Bethlehem Steel company went 1500 12-inch shells at $279.40 each, and 600 14-inch shells at $500 each; to the Washington Steel & Ordnance company, 500 12-inch shells at $277 each, and 1000 14-inch shells at $490 each, and to the Cruci ble Steel company of America 1000 12-inch shells at $274.75 each and 600 14-inch at $500 each. The Hadneld Bhare amounts to $93,500 out of a total of $1,915,950. This company received none of the 14- inch projectiles, although on them it bid almost $100 less apiece than its low est American competitor and was the only concern that offered to undertake the entire contract. Attorney General Wickersham has prepared an opinion advising the Navy department that the eight-hour law will be made to apply in the shell con tracts equally to American and fore' ign builders. Contracts were also let for large quantities of shells other than the 12 and 14-inch armor-piercers, on which only American companies bid. SACRIFICE IS FATAL. Cripple Who Gave Withered Limb for Girl He Never Saw Dies. Gary, Ind. "I guess I'm some good, after all." Billy Rugh, the 41-year old cripple whose withered leg was amputated to save the life of a girl by a skin-graft ing operation at a hospital here, spoke these words and then died. Pneumonia was said by the physi cians to be the cause of death. The ailment, however, resulted directly from his Bel f-sacrifice, having been due to irritation of the lungs by the ether that was given him when his leg was cut off to furnish skin for the body of a person whom he had never seen. Rugh had no relatives, and since coming to Gary several years ago made his living selling newspapers on the streets. He bad to be trusted for the first bundle of newspapers with which he started business. Miss Ethel Smith, the girl for whom he sacrificed his leg and later his life, had been terribly burned in a motorcycle accident. It was just two days since her recovery advanced suf ficiently to permit her removal from the hospital in which Rugh died. Big Fire at Arseral. Benecia, Cal. The Benecia arsenal, the government's principal storehouse for army supplies on the Pacific Coast, was wiped out by fire. The loss is es timated at between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. Spontaneous combustion or crossed electric wires are assigned as the cause. Sixty thousand stands of small arms and 12,000,000 rounds of ammunition were destroyed. Owing to the explosion of the cart ridges the work of fighting the fire was extremely hazardous. Heavy Fighting in Balkans. Constantinople Heavy fighting is reported in progress throughout the region about Kirk-Kilesseh, northeast ward of Adrianople. Large forces are engaged on both sides. Turkey's en deavors to reach Greece from the nrn- federation of Balkan states have failed. Greece has openly declared war against the Ottoman Empire. The departure from Constantinople of the Balkan ministers was not attended by any hostile demontsration. Thou sands of Greeks were permitted to de part to join their forces. Avaiator Escape in Fall. Colfax, Wash. John M. Bryant, an aviator of Oakland, Cal., had a narrow escape from death here when he lost control of his biplane in a heavy wind and crashed into a low hill two miles from Colfax. Bryant had reached a height of 600 feet when be was struck by a heavy gust and driven far from his course. The biplane started to fall, but he regained partial control before be struck the ground. He was badly bruised and the biplane demolished. Persian Capital in Peril. Teheran, Persia The Persian capi tal is menaced by 800 horsemen under command of Salar Ed Dowleh, the re bellious uncle of the reigning Shah. It is believed the people sympathize with him, as they are dissatisfied with the present government. The na tional council is hastily collecting can non and troops to defend the city.

While a prominent specialist wa absent from the consulting room In Berlin the other day, a luuatlo man aged to obtain admission, and posed as the doctor to the many patients who called, giving them prescriptions and advice. There appeared to be nothing unusual in his manner until a lady who waa a constant patient asked him if he was acting as substi tute during the holidays. The im postor laughed, and told her to take peppermint lozenges for her lung trouble. The woman raised the alarm, and the madman was taken into custody. Considerable anxiety is felt for the other patients, for whom he may have prescribed poison. All the pharmacists have been advlaed of the affair.

Colonel Proceeds to Hall and Makes Brief Address, Then Retires to Private Car. Milwaukee, Wis. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the abdominal region shortly before 8 o'clock Monday night, while sitting in his automobile in front of the Gilpatrick House in Milwaukee, about to start for the au ditorium to deliver his scheduled ad dress. According to latest accounts the bullet is imbedded in the muscular tissue and the wound is not serious. The attempted assassination and all its accompanying scenes were dra matic in the extreme. The would-be murderer was John Shrenk, of New York city, a man apparently demented on the subject of the third term. He was captured and locked up. Unconscious of his wound, Colonel Roosevelt proceeded to the auditor ium, and when his condition was dis covered, in spite of the protest of his physician, he made a stirring address on the subject of his attempted mur der. Weakened from loss of blood and at the conclusion of bis speech he was taken to the Emergency hospital, where, after an examination by phy sicians, the nature of his wound was ascertained. It was not considered serious enough to compel a stay in Milwaukee, and at 12:50 a. m. he was taken aboard his special train on a slow run to Chicago. The colonel announced that he would spend the night on the train and after a few hours here would go on to Indianapolis to fulfill his engagement there. Chicago Colonel Roosevelt arrived in Chicago at 3:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. The colonel was said to be resting easy. He had experienced no discomfort during the trip from Mil waukee. He had slept all the way. His temperature was normal and his pulse 84. That the wound was not more ser ious was due to the fact that the bul let was spent from passing through the colonel's army overcoat, spectacle case and the manuscript of his con templated speech. Henry F. Cochems seized the as sassin and held him until policemen came up. A mob surged around the man, who apparently is a radical on the subject of Roosevelt's running for another term for president. The assassin, who is Bmall of sta ture, admitted firing the shot and said that "any man looking for a third term ought to be shot." In notes found in the man s pockets at the police station were statements that the man had been visited in a dream by the spirit of William Mc Kinley, who he said, indicating Roose velt, "This is my murderer; avenge my death." The colonel felt no pain at the time the Bhot was fired and was not aware that he was shot until he was on his way to the auditorium. His attention was then called to the hole in his overcoat, and he found that he was not badly hurt. A superficial exam ination of the wound was made when he reached the auditorium,- and three physicians agreed he was in no imme diate danger. Colonel Roosevelt s life was probably saved by the manuscript of his speech which he made. The bullet struck the manuscript, which retarded its force as it passed through into the flesh. The assassin was prevented from firing a second shot by Albert H. Mar tin, one of Colonel Roosevelt's two sec retaries. Colonel Roosevelt had just stepped into an automobile when the assassin pushed his way through the crowd to the street and fired. Mar tin, who was standing in the car with the colonel, leaped to the man's shoulders and bore him to the ground. A wild cry of "lynch him" went up from the crowd. Colonel Roosevelt spoke to the people and told them to spare the would-be assassin. In spite of the entreaties of physi cians, Colonel Roosevelt insisted upon delivering his address. "I will make this speech or die, one or the other." One of Chief Towns Taken. Podgoritza, Montenegro The Northern Montenegrin army under General Vukovitch, which recently crossed the border into the Sanjak of Novinazar, gained a firm foothold by capturing Byiopolye, one of the chief towns of the province. Byiopolye fell after prolonged fighting, but no information has been received regard ing the losses. The Montenegrins have set up a provisional government. The Serb inhabitants of Byiopolye welcomed the Montenegrins as libera tors from the Turkish yoke. New Alfalfa is Solution. Washington, D. C Secretary Wil son expressed belief that the agricul tural problem in the arid lands of the West had been solved by the alfalfa brought from Siberia. "Draw a line from the northern boundary of North Dakota down to the Gulf of Mexico," said Mr. Wilson. "That's arid land. L'p in Siberia they are getting alfalfa and that hardy product we will put in to the arid section. It will be the sal vation of the arid country."

VALUABLE RING RECOVERED. Under remarkable circumstances a valuable gold ring, set with sapphires and pearls, belonging to a resident of Rochester, near Uttoxeter, Stafford shire, England, has been discovered after being missing for over four years.
